I have been playing some Castles in the Sky with the True Crit Gaming Guild, and that encouraged me to pick-up another fleet. I managed to get this Austro-Hungarian fleet from Brigade before the new Tariffs kicked in. I got them from Scale Creep Miniatures.

You can see how I painted the entire fleet on the blog, but here is a flavor of it.....

These guys hit the table! A game of Castles in the Sky. Royal Navy versus the Dual Monarchy.

This looks like great fun, mate! I always think of Laputa Castle in the Sky when I see mention of this game.

The name is actually a riff on Robert K. Massie's seminal work on the WWI Naval Arms race Castles of Steel



I had forgotten about [i[Laputa: Castles in the Sky[/i] until it was too late. However, I have seen it and enjoyed it a great deal!
